Harper 65 snaps, Godfrey 7

[Tub of Goo]

Saw this over at panthers.com, thought it was pretty interesting.

 

"We like to rotate based on situations," Rivera said. "Early on, when (the Lions) were coming out in certain packages, we thought it would be better for Roman. If it had been a different type package, it might have been Charles a little more.

"It was the potential for the inside running game," Rivera added. "They ran the ball pretty well last week against the Giants, and that was one of the concerns that we had."

I really don't understand Rivera's infatuation with Godfrey. If he's not contributing, cut him and get someone else.

I sure noticed it yesterday.

Exactly why we only gave up 7 points.

Godfrey is a waste of spot on this team. Mind as well give it to Stephen Hill.

How much is Godfrey getting paid? The backfield balled out yesterday, that's all I know.

750k base with incentives that could make him 1.7mill, he took a huge pay cut because he know he would have been cut otherwise.

What an upstanding young man. Selfless and true

That TD pass megatron dropped was in harpers zone. He is still a liability in coverage.

I think it is coaches talk....

They made it so it would be tough for Godfrey to even make the team. Injury helped him.

Godfrey saw heavy reps week 1 bc Harper couldn't go a bc he wasn't conditioned. First chance he gets and Godfrey becomes near invisible in favor of old man Harper

The guy must walk on water at practice.  Rivera loves him and so did Fox.  Both of those guys know defense.  I don't get it.  I've never seen it on Sundays, so it must be happening on the practice field.

It's Megatron. Getting beat by him doesn't make a guy suck. He's possibly the most gifted receiver to possibly every play.
